COLD-BLOODED MURDER.
Joseph C. Kennedy Killed in Wash
ington-An Old Grudge was
the Motive for the
Crime.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE most SEN
sational murder in Washington since the
assassination of President Garfield was
committed last evening opposite the north
eastern end OF the treasury department
building. Joseph c. Kennedy, an attorney
and real estate agent, one OF the oldest
residents of Washington, and personal
acquaintance of many of the most prom
inent people at the national capital, was
murdered in cold blood and without pro-
vocation by John Daily, II white laborer.
A few minutes before 5 o'clock. Mr.. Ken
neav left his office and walked across the
street where he mailed several letters. He
started to take car, and when within a
few feet of it. Daily, who had been loaing
around the corner for several hours, walk
ed up beside him, and drawing keen
bladed knife, similar to those used by
butchers in killing hogs, ran it in Mr..
Kennedy's right side, near the abdomen,
witha vicious lunge, and then gave ita jerk
sideways.
THE PEOPLE HORROR STRICKEN.
A large crowd was on the corner at the
time. but all were so horror stricken for a
moment that nobody moved. Mr.. Ken
nedy fell to the ground after giving the
cry of 'murder!' He groaned deeply and
pointed to the murderer who made no at
tempt to escape. The knife dropped out
of Mr.. Kennedg's side as the docter came
up. Mason, colored watchman, seized
Daily, who stood looking on apparently
the most unconscious and self-possessed
man in the crowd Mr.. Kennedy died in
five minutes The body was removed to
the police station.
THREATS OF LYNCHING.
There was great excitement. To
threats to hang him, Daily paid
little attention and refused to say why
he had committed the crime. Once when
pressed by the crowd he turned squarely
around and said: Yes, | killed him;
damn him" lie is fifty years of age and
apparently werkingman. AT the sta
tion-house he told rambling, incoherent
story about the affair, of which the gen
eral purport WAS that Kennedy had wrong
ed his father years ago, and secured prop
erty worth $4,000 for $500 and refused to
make restitution.
MR.. KENSEDY's CAREER.
The murdered man was about IS years
old and member of an old Maryland fam
lily. He was one of the most respected
citizens of Washington. He was a grand
son of Ellicott, who, at the request of
President Washington, surveyed the ten
mile square incorporated as the District
OF Columbia. In 1850, and again in 1860,
Mr.. Kennedy was commissioner of the
census. He was IN ardent politician in
earlier days and supporter Of the old
Wing party. For long time he edited
the Franklin, Penn, Intel11gencer. He
was an intimate friend of ex-senator
Conkling, Attorney General Garland, w.
W. Corcoran and number of other peo-
pie for whom he acted as agent. He
leaves an unmarried daughter, Sallie
Kennedy a son, James Kennedy, and one
married daughter, the wife of Gen. Bid
die, wealthy Washingtonian. Mr. Ken
nedy was a man of considerable property.

$40, 900 PER MONTH.

That ID About the Average Anouas d
Money Sent to Railway Hsadq uartsrs
from Wood River.
The average monthly remittance,
to the headquarters of the Union
Pacific system from the Wood River
stations amount to about $4o,OOO-
of which about $4,000 comes from
HALEY, $4,000 from Bellevue, and
$4,000 from Ketchum. These are
approximate figures, intended to con.
vey an idea of the average. Some
months las in March and April las. for
instance, when they exceeded $25, 900
per month from HALEY alone) they are
much heavier, while during other
months they are lighter. Last July
the HALEY station RENTED $4,000 to
Omsha--as against $4,000 for the
corresponding month of 1885.
A the operating expenses of the
Wood River branch cannot exceed
$4,000 per month, it is evident that
the Oregon Short Line is realizing an
enormous profit from it.

DELAYS ON THE ROAD.
The O. r. & N. Manager Endeayorins
to Reduce Them TO q Minimum.

" IseOuc0 l0em 70 q Minimum.
General Manager Campbell, of the
o. 4. & N. Co., has just issued an or.
der requiring station agents to report
to bis office all freight, whether in
carloads or parts, which shall have
been on the road four days, in order
that the freight so reported be dis
patched to its destination. This or.
der will undoubtedly be extended to
the Oregon Short Line, and will,
therefore, result in the greater dis.
patch of freight. Heretofore several
weeks have sometimes elapsed, after
goods left Portland, before. they
reached their destination. In future
all such freight should be re-.
ceived at points along the Short
Line and Wood River Branch within
six days, at furthest, after leaving
Portland.
This order of Manager Campbell is
the result of complaints made by
Bews & Hodgman in reference to the
side-tracking, for nearly two weeks,
OF carloads Of lumber shipped to
them.

THE RAILWAY BUSINESS AT HALLE,

A Very Satisfactory Increase Over Last
Year-The Receipts 45 Per Cent. and
the Shipments Nearly go Per Cent.
Heavier.
Money is quite scarce in HALEY;
there is no denying that. Yet the
towns business, as indicated BY the
railway company's books, shows an
increase that is well-nigh wonderful.
During the month of July, last
year, the sales of tickets at HALEY
amounted to 1926; during the cor.
responding month this year, to $500
An increase of about 1T per cent.
But the most remarkable increase
noticed is in the freight, and both In
the receipts and in the shipments.
Groceries, hardware, fruits, vegeta.
.bles, agricultural implements, -four,
grain, lumber and live stock-all have
been received in greater quantities
than last year; and the increase over
the receipts during the corresponding
month of last year has been over As
per cent!
The shipments from HALEY during
the month under review have exceed
ed those during July, 1885, about 10
per cent. This, however, is not q fair
indication of the increase, as last
year all the ore produced by the
Bradford mines was brought to Hal.
ley for sampling and sale; while this
year it is sampled at the Bellevue
works, and shipped thence direct to
the smelters. Inasmuch as the re.
ceipts of ore from Bradford in July,
1885, amounted to nearly 100000
pounds, or so per cent. of the whole,
the increase this year, if the ore re.
ferred to still came here, instead of
being shipped from Bellevue direct,
would be fully so per cent.
1t should be observed that, this
year. the receipts of ore from camps
not strictly or directly tributary to

Excitement In Texas.

Great excitement has been caused in the
vicinity of Paris, Tex, by the remarkable
recovery of Mr.. ). E. Corley, who was SO
helpless he could not turn in bed, or raise
his head; everybody said he was dying of
consumption. A trial bottle of Ur. Kings
New Discovery was sent him. Finding
relief, he bought large bottle and a box
Of DR.. Kings New Life Pills; by the time
he had taken two boxes of Pills and two
bottles of the Discovery, he was well and
had gained in flesh thirty-six pounds.

Harvesting Under Way The Crops
Very Satisfactory.

E. A. White. who has just returned
from Soldier, on Camas Prairie, re.
ports harvesting about in full swing
there. All the small grain looks we'll.
Oats will 60 from so to 60 bushels to
the acre; wheat 30 to 40 bushels,
etc. Barley will be a fair to good

Year by year, as they learn the eli.
